Blessed Ostara & Spring Equinox

Blessed (soon to be) Ostara and Spring Equinox, yogis (exact, tomorrow March 20th at 10.01 CET).! And welcome spring!!!🌼🌷

The Spring Equinox is one of two times of the year when day and night are equal lengths. Night and day are in perfect harmony and balance, and reminds us to stop, pause, and tend to our own balance as well. And just like Octobers Samhain (Halloween) and Decembers Yule (Christmas), Ostara (Easter) has been translated in to modern day Christianity. Ostara is, however, an ancient celebration + honoring of the Anglo-Saxon and Germanic goddess of spring and fertility, Ēostre or Ostara.

The spring goddess represents new dawn and new life, and blesses seeds for planting, overseeing the fertility of the earth, symbolizing new growth, and newborn animals. At the time of Ostara and the spring equinox, day and night are of equal length, making it a time to celebrate balance and equilibrium.

This is a good time to balance out your own life as well, using this time to free yourself and let go of things which hinder your progress, focusing on gaining what you may have lost and to gain the qualities you wish to have, and as winter's frost melts into spring, harness Ostara's fertile energy by release and let go of negative emotions that no longer serve you.

Create a personal rituals for releasing any anger, bitterness, and pain you are holding onto, and let it disappear into the earth to be transformed. As you let go of the old, make room to cultivate positive change.
